NobileT5 Koinibori 2012

Easy all terrain performance

Beyond Expectations. Nobile teamed up with aerodynamic engineers from Airbus whose everyday job is aircraft aerodynamics and together they have redesigned the T5 kite. The main goal was to improve the kites performance, while simultaneously maintaining those T5 characteristics that are so well liked. The result is a kite improved beyond expectations with a smoother profile the T5 in every aspect and takes the performance forward from the previous version.

Nobile have taken what the aerodynamics science has to offer and implemented it into this kite's construction. So pleased with the results, they decided to upgrade the name also. All aerodynamics-driven improvements start from the new profile. The leading edge area includes new, flattened Wing Tips, thinner bridles and steering lines. The T5 - KOINOBORI is now much faster and more stable at the same time, even in gusty wind conditions. Amazingly enough, the lift and hang time have also improved greatly. Incredible low-end wind performance also allows you to use kites smaller than usual, so now you have more versatile tool..

Additionally, side-strut kite valves have been moved to the outer sides of the struts, to gain the “catch – free” location. Now it’s almost impossible for the bridles to catch the valve when launching the kite.

T5-KOINOBORI also features reinforced bridles attachment points. The kite is now equipped with double layer of Dacron where it's most exposed to risk of breaking the leading edge. Reinforced V-attach mounting system featured in the crucial point of bridle’s attach area – makes the kite stronger. Good news for Kiteloop fans!

The T5-KOINOBORI features, direct-feeling control, improved predictability, and perfectly balanced bar pressure. The huge wind range, lift and hang time remain, but with a massive improvement to the low-end power and re-launch capabilities.

If you want an easy re-launching kite with outstanding power range, smooth and precise handling, focused on freeride but also suitable for big air, waves and even unhooked freestyle, then the T5-KOINOBORI is the choice.

KISS - Kite Intelligent Safety System
KISS is the new kite control system designed by Nobilekiteboarding. Developed from the Human Concept idea, KISS is designed to bring performance, safety and comfort to harmonize the rider and the kite and provide control in all conditions. KISS is the versatile system designed for all riding skills and styles.
KISS bar offers directional color coded graphics, double finger bumpers, double width connection possibility on the bar ends and color coded laminar rubber protections in the inside of the barends.
The polished full piece alloy central core stays for strengh and for depower line durabilty:
It features no sharp edges so the rope is safe and won't damage or scratch.
Big hole for the safety line (Φ = 9mm) in the middle axis of C-loop secures smooth and trouble-free action of the safety line even if the sand gets inside.
KISS System offers the most advanced quick release system on the market – fast, safe and easy to use. Nobile Control bar system
